Good to know … since I pay a lot of good money to translators! Very, very occasionally in cases of English to French there are sentences I want rewritten (especially in articles where I was the original author), and since I’m a Francophone I give it a go. All the LLM functions as is a double-check, to see what suggestion I might cook up. Like all “#AI”, it only works well when you already know the correct answer.

You would think this would have had some air time on our news and not the unknown TV show hostʼs mum.

Two hours to get from Tawa to Lower Hutt (i.e. if this is your commute, donʼt bother!). #raumati #summer #Aotearoa #NZ

At least the AP still has a backbone when it comes to surveys.

Note: this really is a quotation from RFK Jr. It is not from a comedy sketch.

#Google pays a couple of hoursʼ revenue as a fine for secretly recording usersʼ voices.
Quoting
As we guessed, it seems that despite Google saying they were not making recordings of people's voices and mining them for advertisers, they were doing exactly that.
If it was a colleague caught wiretapping the workplace, we'd have them sacked and never speak to nor trust them again. In the case of Google, it's even more personal.
No Google service is free. We are the terrain they extract from. We always pay.
